PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS

Jérôme Prado

Jérôme is a cognitive neuroscientist working at the CNRS. He received his PhD in 2007 from the University of Lyon and spent 5 years as a post doctoral researcher at the University of Michigan and Northwestern University in the US. He joined the CNRS in 2012 as a tenured research scientist (chargé de recherche).

Jérôme's research focuses on the cognitive and neural mechanisms that underlie logical and mathematical thinking. His work involves adults as well as children with and without learning disabilities, such as dyscalculia.

Marie-Line is a researcher in math education working at the Teachers College (ESPE) of the University of Lyon. She received her PhD in 2013 from the University of Lyon. After a year of post-doctoral training at the University of Montpellier, she joined the University of Lyon as an Assistant Professor in 2014.

Marie-Line's research interests are at the intersection of math education and cognitive science. One of her goals is to develop a didactic and cognitive exploration of the links between reasoning and math problem-solving.

STUDENTS

Cléa Girard

Cléa is a PhD student. She is interested in the role of home learning environment in math skills of young children. She is also interested in the neural bases of dyscalculia. Cléa uses both behavioral and neuroimaging methods to explore these questions.

Flora is a PhD student. Her research focuses on the neural bases of logical reasoning, which she investigates in both typically-developing and learning-disabled children.
